Staying at my best friend's house, she was spotted by her gangster uncle

Chapter 585 "I am nothing."

At first they were not used to it, both in terms of lifestyle and taste.

But since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it. Ma Xu began to learn how to cook for himself.

The three young men who used to be gangsters turned into young men guarding the village overnight.

There are very few young people here. All young people want to go out and explore the world. If there is no development here, they can only wait for death.

So apart from some old people, there are only a few cows and a flock of sheep here, and chickens, ducks, geese and dogs have become their entertainment all day long.

The old man didn't know their identities, where they came from or why they were staying there.

But they are simple and kind, and treat them as their own children.

Seeing that they didn’t know how to cook, I taught them. If they didn’t know mushrooms, I taught them step by step.

From these old people, the prince who once dominated Longshui Street and was feared by everyone felt the most beautiful things in the world.

What is it?

It is kindness.

It is simplicity without considering cost and reward.

Not only Leng Ci, but Ma Xu and Zong Zi also felt it.

The tranquility, grace, and non-competitive attitude of those elderly people are fully displayed in this small valley.

Later, Ma Xu helped them with farm work, fetching water, turning the soil, and chopping firewood in the mountains.

Escaping from the Internet era, it seems that time has slowed down.

There is no communication here. If you want to make a phone call, you have to go halfway up the mountain to get some signal.

At first they will go crazy, irritable, anxious, uneasy, and swear.

Later they gradually accepted it and decided to do something to make themselves happy in the unlimited time.

Just like changing his lifestyle, Ma Xu took off the clanking metal decorations on his body for fear of scaring the elderly in the village.

Try to find some clothes that are not exaggerated and be an ordinary guy.

"Child, what is your name?"

The old lady sitting outside the door looked to be in her 80s.

"Grandma, call me Xiaoxu."

Xiaoxu?

In the past, people always called him "Brother Xu", and when he was in a bad mood, people would call him "Master Xu".

So, environment affects a person.

"What's the tall guy's name? Is his hand injured?"

Leng Ci usually basks in the sun in the yard, rarely speaks, and his arms are wrapped in gauze.

"Oh, that's our youngest brother. He just bumped his arm a bit, but he's fine."

Leng Ci half-raised his eyebrows, and a cat walked over to him.

An orange cat, raised by an old lady, is very docile and usually willing to be close to people.

The cat approached Leng Ci and rubbed his trouser leg with its head. This small action dissipated the gloom and worry in his heart.

Leng Ci's distant eyes seemed out of tune with everything here.

Compared to Ma Xu, he was even more reluctant to stay here.

The reason is very simple, it’s not just a lifestyle habit, but also the person in your heart that you can’t let go of.

Like a broken heart, depressed.

meow~

The large orange cat jumped onto his chair and sat down next to him, snuggling up to him.

It was as if they had known each other for a long time.

Ma Xu took a look:

"Master, you see Daju likes you."

What's the use of it?

Leng Ci did not respond, and grandma looked at him:

"This child has the look of great wealth and honor between his eyebrows and eyes. He will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Great achievements?

Leng Ci was too lazy to respond and just replied:

"I am nothing."

You can tell he's very frustrated. Maybe they have stories that are different from ordinary people, but who in the world doesn't have a story?

Stories are made up of small things that lead to big events, and behind the big events there are intricate connections.

There is nothing pathetic and nothing hateful.

You could tell he was in a bad mood, and then the old lady turned and left.

Ma Xu could adapt quickly, but Leng Ci couldn't.

Watching the old lady leave, Leng Ci suddenly asked:

"I want to go back and take a look."

go back?

At that time, the master did not let him go back, but just said that he would come to pick him up.

"Master, this may not be inappropriate. The master hasn't sent anyone yet, so it's probably not resolved yet."

When will it be resolved?

"After so long, I couldn't even make a phone call. I just couldn't stay any longer."

Ma Xu also understood his feelings, but...

"What if we go back and the master blames us?"

Leng Ci hesitated for a moment:

"I'm just going back to take a look. I'm not going in."

This is the only way now. Ma Xu also wants to go back. After all, his own big bed is more comfortable to sleep in.

So they decided to rush back overnight.

As soon as he left the mountains, Leng Ci called his father, but the line was always busy.

Later I called someone close to my father, but the phone was also out of service. What was going on?

Leng Ci frowned.

"Master, it's okay. Nothing will happen to the master."

Such words of comfort had no effect, and Leng Ci's heart kept beating fast.

That night, his father sent him out of the city as if he had a premonition of something.

Looking back on that day, it seemed like everything had been planned.

The next morning, Leng Ci deliberately took a detour to return to the Leng family.

He was not sure what had happened at home, so he did not dare to walk along Longshui Street.

When they arrived at the door of the Leng family's old house, they saw a big lock that locked the door tightly.

There are still a lot of fallen leaves and debris in front of the door, and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Leng Ci's heart was shocked and he got out of the car quickly.

Ma Xu ran to the door to check, but couldn't see inside through the crack.

What's happening here?

All three people were stunned.

"Master?"

Leng Ci had guessed it right, otherwise why would no one at home answer the phone?

Leng Ci went forward to check the door lock. This was not the previous password lock, but a later installed lock.

In the end what happened?

A bad feeling.

He found an axe in the car and used it to break the chain.

The door is opened

Desolation.

The fish pond was dry, with some fish remains in it. They were starved to death, and then the water dried up, and the remaining bones were eaten by stray cats around.

The evergreen trees next to it are still there, but they are dry and about to wither.

The yard was so scary that Leng Ci ran into the house like a madman.

Everything is unchanged, just covered with dust.

He searched upstairs and downstairs:

"Dad~, Dad!"

He was searching like crazy for someone who would never show up.

"dad!"

Leng Ci roared and knelt in his father's room.

Nothing in the room had changed, so there was only one possibility: my father had been murdered.

Ma Xu and Zong Zi stood outside, listening to Leng Ci crying loudly, a voice full of despair.

No wonder his father sent him away. How desperate he must have been when a person was facing danger.

Leng Ci clenched his fists, tears dripping onto the floor.

On the desk there are their old photos and the calligraphy that his father has not yet finished writing.

There was a copy of the Records of the Grand Historian that he had not finished reading on the bedside table, with a cup on top.

Everything here seemed as if nothing had happened, but it really disappeared.

Recalling what his father told him:

"Son, remember, as long as you are here, there is hope for the Leng family."
